Here's an explosive system for White, easy to learn and avoiding long theory lines to memorize.

This is what it looks like :

Yes, lets develop an attack putting the chess board on fire. The idea is simple, as it is a blitz game, we will target the opposite king with a direct attack.

Here's an example by Nakamura against Firouzja, the rising chess star played this year :

Here's what you should remember :

Game1 against a 2290 rated player. White is GM Jusupov who played this opening with White. Variations & Explanations included.

Game 2: Against a GM, still Jusupov with White showing how to get it done. with my annotations.

Want to see more ideas with this opening ? sometimes called Colle-Yusupov, or Reti opening with b3.

but what if the opponent doesn't do d5-c5-e6, or e6,b6,Bb7 and instead opts for g6-Bg7 to fight along the main diagonal ? lets say a certain Hikaru Nakamura has played this with White. Details on the link here: http://top10chess.blogspot.com/2020/05/colle-zukertort-yusupov-style-part-ii.html
